I got this atv from a friend of mine for free.  It was his son's and they parked it 10 to 15 years ago because it wouldn't shift.  The code came back angle sensor, so I replaced that and pulled the shift motor, cleaned it up and greased it.  When I pulled the carb it was a mess.  I  tried soaking it in Gunk carb cleaner and rebuilding it but it will not idle regardless of what I do. If I hold the throttle part way open it will run.  I am thinking maybe there is more corrosion that I didn't get cleaned out.  I am hoping a new carb solves the problem.  I attached pictures of the carb when I removed it.  On the bright side it runs through all the gears now.
